SAFETY PATROL
In the month of August, officers from the Mount Vernon Police District as well as motorcycle officers from the Operations Support Bureau will be actively patrolling the Mount Vernon District concentrating on traffic and pedestrian related infractions.
The goal during this enforcement effort is to identify and deter aggressive driving behavior, while enhancing the safety of those traveling the Route 1 corridor, both in vehicles and on foot. On certain days in August, citizens might notice a significant presence of uniformed officers enforcing traffic safety laws and stopping pedestrians who improperly cross the roadways.
